biggest hitting instead key kinda nice playing relax runs three
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
blast challenged early followed great paul runs start
We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.
carrying definitely drive hitter job runs score
It's definitely not just me carrying the team, ... As a middle-of-the-order hitter my job is to drive in runs and score runs.
fear knew pitching runs
As well as we started off, we knew that it wasn't going to be like that every day. The fear was that once we cooled off, if the pitching was there, we weren't going to get enough runs to win.
drive few late lucky might reason runs seeing
I think a lot of it might have to do with teams, this late in the season, (that) are out of it, and I'm probably seeing more pitches. It might be a combination of a few things, but I still have to drive those runs in. For one reason or another, I've been getting lucky and getting more opportunities.
pitching runs score starting
In years past, (talk) was more that we had to score more runs for our starting pitching. Now, it's more that we're going score some runs, can the starting pitching keep us in games?
definitely finally gets ready talking
We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
guides slowly taken terrible
I started this neighborhood, and it's slowly been taken over. But that's OK. I'm just going to get one of those idiot's guides to Spanish. I'm terrible at it.
actual days early few jump stuff week workouts
I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.
forward games innings looking nine playing spring
You go from spring training, where you're (in the lineup) here and there and you can't really simulate playing nine innings continually, to having to play 17 games in a row. I think everyone is looking forward to this day off.
cylinders hope jobs
There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
good pitcher step teams
We need a pitcher to step up and be a stopper. A lot of good teams have that.
best teams
Those are the two best teams in the division. We'll find out where we stand.
